Etymology: < Middle French pederote (1568 in the passage translated in quot. 1585; French †pederotte (1611 in Cotgrave); compare Anglo-Norman pedoretés (beginning of the 13th cent.)) < classical Latin paederōt- , paederōs a kind of opal (Pliny) < Byzantine Greek παιδερωτ- , παιδέρως (4th cent. a.d.) < ancient Greek παιδ- , παῖς boy, child (see paedo- comb. form) + ἔρως love (see Eros n.). Compare Italian †pederota (14th cent. as pederonta), †pedero (a1498). N.E.D. (1904) interprets the form in quot. 1610 as a plural, and lists the word under the presumed singular form pedera.
